Josh Hader has been named the Trevor Hoffman National League Reliever of the Year.

In the latest sign that traditional measuring sticks for relievers are history, Hader, who had just 12 saves for the Brewers, won the award after a regular season in which he held a 2.43 ERA, 0.81 WHIP and 143/30 K/BB ratio over 81 1/3 innings of work. And he'll return to a similar role in 2019, with Brewers general manager David Stearns confirming Hader will remain a reliever next season. The 24-year-old had a questionable year off the field, but on it he was a revelation for the NL Central-champion Brewers. Sat, Oct 27, 2018 07:30:00 PM

Brewers GM David Stearns confirmed Tuesday that Josh Hader will remain in the bullpen in 2019.

Hader worked as a starter in the minors, but he has absolutely flourished in a relief role at the major league level, posting a 2.30 ERA, 0.876 WHIP, and 211 strikeouts across his first 129 innings with the Brewers. This announcement by Stearns comes as no surprise. Tue, Oct 23, 2018 04:02:00 PM

Josh Hader played a pivotal role out of the Brewers' bullpen in their victory over the Dodgers in Game 1 of the NLCS on Friday, allowing just two hits while striking out four over three scoreless innings.

Hader was the third pitcher called upon by Brewers' manager Craig Counsell in this one, taking over in the fifth inning with the Brewers holding a 5-1 lead. The left-hander threw a career-high 46 pitches in the game, a remarkable 34 of them for strikes in the dominant performance. He'll likely be unavailable for Game 2 on Saturday.

Josh Hader tossed two scoreless innings to close out the Brewers' win over the Cubs in Monday's NL Central tiebreaker game.

The Brewers plated two runs to take the lead in the top of the eighth before Hader took over. The dominant lefty set the Cubs down in order -- including a pair of swinging strikeouts -- in his first frame before striking out Daniel Murphy swinging to begin the ninth. He got Ben Zobrist to fly out from there before Javier Baez put together a great at-bat and reached on a single to center field. Anthony Rizzo came to the plate as the tying run, but flew out to right field to end it. While Hader had some hiccups in September, he's going to finish the regular season with a 2.43 ERA and a ridiculous 143/30 K/BB ratio over 81 1/3 innings. He also notched 12 saves, including Monday's win. He's going to be quite the postseason weapon for Milwaukee. Mon, Oct 1, 2018 04:22:00 PM

Jimmy Nelson (shoulder) told MLB Network Radio that he expects to be ready to go by spring training.

"That's the goal," Nelson said. "I'm on track to throw my bullpens like normal." Nelson missed all of the 2018 season with his shoulder injury, despite reports that he would be ready by midseason. He was the Brewers best starter for most of the 2017 season before picking up the injury on a slide into first base, and if he's back to that pitcher for Milwaukee in 2019, it's going to be a huge boost for the Brewers.

Suter's activation is purely logistical. The left-hander will miss most -- if not all -- of the 2019 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery to repair a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his left elbow in August.
